Guest Post: Story Banner Archives – What do you mean, not that Athens? by taibhrigh

Me again, taibhrigh, Sylum’s Resident Artist. Today I’m here to talk about those pretty images known as banners that each story in the NEW archive should have.

Like with the New Wiki Character Images, there’s a spreadsheet for this so the General knows the status on the banners. This is especially important during special events like Seven Days of Summer and Advent.

Guest Post: National K-9 Veterans Day (From Paula Cas)

National K9 Veterans Day, March 13, is a day set aside to honor commemorate the service and sacrifices of American military and working dogs throughout history.

It was on March 13, 1942, that the Army began training for its new War Dog Program, also known as the “K-9 Corps,” according to American Humane, marking the first time that dogs were https://www.military.com/officially a part of the U.S. Armed Forces.

The rest, as they say, is history. Officially a part of the service of not, the dogs of war span centuries and include such heroes as Sgt. Stubby, the original war dog, Chips, the most decorated dog in World War II and Lex, who retired with his fallen owners family and Cairo, the Navy SEAL working dog on the bin Laden raid.

Today’s military dogs are valued as important members of their military units and even have their own retirement ceremonies, awards and medals, and memorial services.

Guest Post: Everything You Wanted to Know About the Wiki Character Images and Some Things You Didn’t by Taibhrigh

Quick Overview.

So, I’m taibhrigh, Sylum’s Resident Artist –a title the General graced me with without really telling me until after 🙂

I have created just shy of 1000 pieces of art (in some form or fashion) for Sylum. Around 400 of these have been for the “New Wiki Character Image” Project. Which started by accident… kind of like most things in Sylum. And, there are A LOT of characters.

Guest Post: Thank You Letter

Today’s Post is a Letter from Janet

The General has graciously allowed me to post this (overdue!) note regarding the Christmas Card List.

The last several years haven’t been good ones for me. I’ve been unemployed and under a lot of stress. In addition, my mother hasn’t been in the best of health and then Ineeded major surgery. Things got worse in November 2017 when my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. We spent 2018 dealing with the disease: chemo, surgery and finally, radiation treatments. It was a grueling year.  At my request, each year, the General has put my name on the Christmas Card List. For the last few years, every year without fail, I have received cards from around the world and across the US.

Each and every one was read and treasured and saved. I have a pile of them on my desk – I’ve reread them upon occasion, reliving the burst of happy I got when I found a new one in the mailbox.  I can’t really express how much it meant to me to get those cards, to know someone took the time and effort to send a card to someone they’ve never met. Some of the cards contained stickers and little ornaments that brought a smile to my face. For those moments, life wasn’t so bad.

I’ve meant to say this before, but time always seemed to get away from me – but I wanted to make sure I said it this time:

THANK YOU!

To all of you – for the kind words, the good wishes, for simply being kind enough to send a card. It’s meant a lot to me.

Hopefully (please, Anyonewho’s listening) 2019 will be a better year. Mom’s recovered from her treatment and there’s no sign of the cancer spreading. There are some other issues to be dealt with, but not that. Me? I recovered from surgery and the medical condition I had was solved. So I’m hoping this will be a better year. I’ll take the warmth and joy your cards brought with me through the year. Thank you again, everyone.

Peace and Blessings to you all in 2019 –

Dr. Janet

(Lynn D.)
